For many firms, China is one of the world's most desirable investment destinations, and it's no different for German-based Siemens, according to executive Richard Hausmann.
Hausmann refers to Siemens' growth model in China as a blend of organic and inorganic. The company is working in a range of fields to encourage long-term development in the country.
"We are focusing on the business itself, strengthening our portfolio by expanding our sales coverage," he says. "We are also localizing our business operations in China, especially our research and development programs."
Siemens is also looking at growth through mergers and acquisitions, according to Hausmann.
"We are constantly looking to collaborate with others," he says.
